Here's how to find the equation of a line tangent to a function. In this video, I'm going to look at the following two examples:

Find the equation of the line tangent to the curve f(x) = x^2 at the point x =1.

AND

Find the equation of the line tangent to the curve f(x) = x^3 -2x^2+3x+4 at x = -1

Bonus: How to animate this in python. Here's the python code
